“We set out to design not only a contemporary Scandinavian-inspired alpine lodge, but the most sustainable, all-electric condominium building in the Colorado mountains. Electric Pass Lodge will set a new standard for the future of building design in Snowmass and hopefully for ski resorts across North America,” said Christian Barlock, principal with 4240 Architecture. Achieving this goal required a multifaceted design approach, led by our firm and “deep green” engineering firm Integral Group.
Electric Pass Lodge will be a new benchmark for future resort development and the industry as a whole. “Building electrification is a key step on the pathway to a net-zero future,” said Marta Schantz, senior vice president for the Urban Land Institute’s Greenprint Center for Building Performance. “A highly energy-efficient, all-electric building powered by renewable energy is the gold-standard for leadership in the built environment.”
